1 Lie on your back and extend your legs straight up, with the soles of your feet facing the ceiling. Keep your legs and ankles pressed together, and bend your knees slightly. Hold the ends of one dumbbell with both hands and extend your arms straight up. Inhale.
2 Exhale, and without moving your legs, use your abs to lift your shoulders off the floor, reaching the dumbbell towards your toes. Then inhale and return to the starting position. That is one rep. Repeat the movement for the number of reps given in your workout.
